Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Denny Sideman (ranked 4161 p4p, 4357 weight class) and Kyle Kuzma (ranked 539 p4p, 553 weight class). Sideman comes to the cage accompanied by Andre Nickatina - My Name is Money. Kuzma has chosen Tarararara as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Kyle Kuzma was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
